"Aquarius…?" Zach muttered after seeing Aquarius
The monster was Aquarius in her mermaid form.
"Zach! Please don't hurt me!" she begged.
"What… are you doing here?" Zach asked.
"I don't know. I was here before I knew it! Please, release the water. I can't breathe properly!" Aquarius gasped for water as she yelled.
Zach was about to release the water even though he found it strange. But he didn't want Aquarius to suffer.
However, just as Zach was about to release the control over the floating river, something inside him didn't want him to.
"Hurry! Or I will die!" she yelled.
"Zach! What are you doing?!" Aria yelled.
"I don't know. I can't control the water properly! It's as if the power itself is telling me not to release the water!" Zach replied as she glanced back at Aria and Victoria.
Aria frowned her face and said, "Why… why do you want to release the water? Just hold it. We will kill it."
"Huh? What are you talking—"
Before Zach could even ask or say anything, Aria fired an arrow at Aquarius, and it pierced her body, or it would have if Zach hadn't caught and absorbed the magic attack with his gloves.
However, he lost control over the water in that process.
"What are you doing?!" Aria yelled.
"What you 'you' doing?! How can you shoot Aquarius?!" Zach yelled with a furious look on his face.
"What? Where is…" Aria's eyes winded as she realized something. "Be careful! This monster can use an illusion!"
"…!" Zach looked back at the spot where Aquarius was standing, and now, there was a giant sea monster standing in the water.
The monster had finally revealed its true form.
Level 200- Aquitax.
HP- [15,000,000]
It was in a humanoid Sea monster. Its size was as big as an average ship. It had several tentacles, only four of them were above the water level, and each was facing a specific direction.
Its hands were as big as the size of an adult human, and its claws could rip anyone apart in one hit. Its face resembled the face of a snake and turtle.
It had fins around its neck, moving up and down as it took breaths. The fins spread on its back, and they almost looked like wings. And there were sharp, thick scaled layers coming out of them, protecting its back.
The monster was perfectly created with agility, attack, defense, and intelligence.
It even had the power of illusion that made its prey see the person they loved the most.
Zach could have seen Aria or Victoria, but they were with him, so he wouldn't have fallen into the illusion. He could have also seen Aurora, but Zach knew for sure that Aurora couldn't be there.
That left only Aquarius and Ruli.
Zach could have seen Ruli, but he knew Ruli had no powers, so she couldn't possibly be the boss, which left only Aquarius to appear in the illusion.
For a second, he was genuinely happy that he got to see Aquarius again. However, it was all an illusion, and Zach was fooled by it.
The Sea God's powers inside him warned him about the illusion, but Zach couldn't understand it.
"…" Zach frowned his face in anger and took control over the Sea again.
Earlier, it took him nearly 30 seconds to take control over the entire Sea, but now he took it over within three seconds.
That was the power of the Sea's Wrath Which was resonating according to Zach's wrath.
That was the power of the Sea God.
Zach mixed both his hands together and formed a water ball to trap the Sea Monster inside.
The Sea monster couldn't do anything since it couldn't get out of the water. And its only habitat was taken over by Zach.
However, Zach couldn't do anything either.
"What are we going to do now?" Victoria asked Zach in a low voice to make sure not to interrupt his focus.
Zach unequipped his gloves and equipped the cursed dagger.
"That's…!" Aria recognized her feather.
Zach aimed the dagger at Aquitax and threw it. However, it dodged the attack.
Aquitius could still move freely under the water ball, but it couldn't get out of it.
Aquitius thought it was safe, but that wasn't the case.
Since Zach could control the water, he could also control the dagger inside the water ball by using the Sea's wrath power.
Aquitax realized it and started swimming erratically, but it was useless.
No matter how fast one was in its own habitat, it couldn't win against the habitat itself.
All Aquitax's effort to save itself was futile.
The dagger pierced Aquitax in the back and came out from its chest. However, it didn't die.
The attack only dealt 100 GMG to Aquitax.
HP- [14,999,900]
Aquitax thought it was worried for nothing. It looked at Zach and tried to attack him using its long tentacles, but Aria cut them off with her attack.
Aquitax folded its arm and waited for Zach to exhaust himself. After all, using the Sea's Wrath to control the water was mentally exhausting for him.
A normal player wouldn't even be able to maintain it for more than 1 minute, but Zach could hold it for long because of his mental strength in his stats.
However, Aquitax started freaking out when it noticed its HP slowly decreased by 0.1% every passing second.
Within one minute, 6% (899994) of its total HP was depleted, and it was continuously decreasing.
HP- [14099906]
Aquitax began using random attacks on Zach, but Aria and Victoria protected Zach from all the attacks and worked as his offense and defense.
"How does it feel?!" Zach yelled out loud with an evil smirk on his face.
Furious, Aquitax attacked Zach, but as expected, Aria and Victoria didn't let the attack reach Zach.
"Since you showed me hope by showing me an illusion of Aquarius! As my thanks, I will show you despair in return!"
